“AFAB/AMAB language has no actual impact on your daily life, it’s an internet argument. why do you care so much?”

i went to a new doctor a little while ago, and they looked up PMDD as it’s not a diagnosis they were familiar with. IAPMD’s website referred to it as a “condition affecting people who were AFAB,” so the doctor tried to remove it from my record because according to her research it “didn’t apply to me.”

bioessentialist phrases becoming hyper-normalised, especially in medical spaces like has recently been happening, has an incredibly large impact on intersex people

[wizardarchetypes]

not to be corny but I think I once wrote an emo poem about all of this hold on.

[wizardarchetypes]

I wrote this exploring the voyeurism of grief and the way people think those who suffer and are marginalized are somehow favored and rewarded, the way marginalized people need to make their suffering palatable for it to be acknowledged. i was never quite happy with it after reworking it like 10 times so it's unfinished as far as i'm concerned, but i guess an unfinished poem is still a poem, against its will (and mine)

[paper--machete]

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

[paper--machete]

fuck it. reblog this and tell me in the tags what your favorite album is

Man, the flesh sucks. I'm gonna abandon it for the machine.

[cryptotheism]

Hey was anyone gonna telle that the machine is also subject to change? The nature of my decay is just different now. Shit sucks. I'm gonna abandon the machine for the divine.

[cryptotheism]

Bad news about the divine

[crippled-peeper]

yeah people treat me like furniture, step on me, kick me, drop things on me, run into me, let their kids climb on me like I’m a playground, tap me with their cars while laying on the horn, threaten to run me over, demand I leave the bus when they enter with their stroller, scream at me that I’m faking for ‘perks’ . but at least I’m VALID!!! at least I’m VISIBLE!!!

You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

rb to make a biological essentialist mad <3

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

neovaginas can get wet naturally

a neophallus can get erect with an implant (this will either be a bendable rod or a device that inflates with saline at the press of a button, usually in the testicles)

both can feel sexual pleasure and experience orgasm

most neovaginas will be able to tolerate larger insertions with enough dilating/training

the nerves in neophalluses take a while to regrow but it is incredibly rare to experience no sexual nerve growth

both can look and feel "normal" if that's what you want, just take good care of your scars and look at your surgeons' results portfolio (and don't be afraid to be picky! its your genitals, you get to decide!)

in fact it's possible for many people to stealth and for their sexual partners to never know. even for phallo, some people with natal penises have erectile implants too, ED is common. neocaginas are often indistinguishable from natal vaginas

many surgeons are starting to offer preservation options for patients who want a more mixed look/don't want to lose what they have

YOU HAVE OPTIONS! demystify bottom surgery

remember the like tiny sliver of time when there was a real push to just say "people who have a uterus" or "people with testicles" or whatever when that was what you meant, and then faux-progressives who were willing to cave to terfism to avoid saying icky anatomy words ruined it with "AFAB-bodied"

[tpwrtrmnky]

literally just say dick when you mean dick. feeling uncomfortable with body parts and getting all euphemistic about it is conservatism by default.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Through the magic of specifying, for instance, "if you have a cock and balls then you may sometimes struggle with accidentally squeezing them in painful ways when sitting down" you also account for someone who got rid of her cock and balls surgically. Because get this. She No Longer Has That Anatomy. She is now outside the group defined as "people with cocks and balls".

[tpwrtrmnky]

On the other hand, instead of trying to contrive some anatomical grouping when what you really want to say is "trans women and cis men" without owning up to how awkward it is that you're making that particular grouping of identities, through the magic of introspection, you can think about why you're so desperate to do that!

i wish i had the post on hand but a read i really like is vampirism as disability. you cant work a regular day job, in fact you physically cannot leave your home most hours of the day, you have specific dietary restrictions that alienate you from the social act of breaking bread, you feel condemned to navigate the world at its fringes, maybe your body wont change and develop the way it does for your peers, maybe your body is changing very rapidly into something that frightens people.

its tricky territory because i feel like the trope of the vampire as parasite is very dominant in the cultural consciousness and thats obviously not a connection i wish to draw, but like, you know who else the capitalist ableist world treats as drains on Normal society? in a narrative where the vampire character(s) arent being played as villains i think theres a lot of fertile ground here.

[teaboot]

I think it would be a genuinely fascinating angle on writing vampire characters and an amazing way to discuss abled society’s tendency to relegate disabilities to “victim”, “parasite”, “monster”, and “pariah” categories depending on what they hope to gain from it.

“good” vampires are sympathetic and tragic, even sexy. “Bad” vampires are selfish and draining (literally) and ‘take up resources at other’s expense’, as the argument goes. Both ends parallel common talking points.

Hell, inspiration porn, unrealistic goals, fetishization, demonization, alienation, othering, the living ‘warning’, victimhood, survivorship, moralization- you could discuss a LOT about disabled experiences by using Vampires as the widely-palatable allegory and I kind of very much want to read that

we really need to push back on this increasingly common idea that an adult and a child can never have anything in common and should never be interacting outside of very specific, strictly monitored circumstances. growing up my mom would take us to the park and she would also play with the other random kids who were there, I don't think you can do this anymore. I spent most of my 8th grade lunches hanging out alone with my english teacher talking about books and life and culture, I don't think this would be allowed anymore. the potential for someone to exploit a child and do harm will always be there, but I think acting like children can never benefit from a friendship with an adult really just harms children in the long run. as a child/teen who dealt with severe mental illness, to this day I still remember the impact that kind adults had on me growing up.

Like a half hour after taking pain relief meds: oh actually it doesnt hurt anymore i probably didnt even need to take those

[ouroborosorder]

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

[ouroborosorder]

the best characters are Mafia Goon, Cyberpunk Hacker, Castle Guard, Sewer Rat, 16th Century Peasant, and Alien Poorly Pretending to be Human

[clamberingcat]

OP we desperately need examples

[ouroborosorder]

these are all from mafia goonposting but I think it’s my absolute favorite one of all time so I have a lot of pictures from it. Turn on some jazz and wait until people start talking in the accent and you’ll make Magic

[contemptible-scoundrel]

Im dreadfully sorry you had to go through some eroguro shit at the hands of an evil megacorp surgeon lady to get your cyberpunk combat implants, I got my shit done by a guy named myke with a y in a shipping container, he plugged me into an old xbox 2 and I just played elden ring for a few hours until I woke up with elf ears and the ability to double jump and wallrun
